Mexican bean beetles threaten lima bean leaves
The article explains identification of Mexican bean beetles on lima beans with golden tan adults and yellow spiny larvae. It notes control options by hand-picking or spraying with carbaryl or malathion, and then shifts to tomato staking, pruning, and midseason garden tasks including biennial planting, bulb and corm distinctions, and hedge renovation guidance. It ends with Penn State Cooperative Extension information and names James J. McKeehen as Delaware County agricultural agent.

Postal Service filed complaints against seven mail order firms promoting the climber claim and arranged refunds with Dean Foster Nurseries.

Poison ivy allergy debate marks FDA findings
The FDA notes that four of five people react to poison ivy, oak, or sumac and that immunization is possible but slow and not universally effective. Heredity seems unrelated, with early childhood exposures shaping reactions. Hyposensitization shows promise via repeated leaf extract doses over months, even tested in a California prison study.
